Subha,
What about the Indian English Community?
Noopur,
Thanks for the ideas, but one small suggestion. Format- Keep it OGV.
We can't be promoting an open project with a closed format video no?
Konark,
Good to see young brains like you volunteering on this.
Ashwin,
Can I have a link please?

Nitika & MikeLynch & some others have
just begin working in this field
and a prototype video on how to create an account has been made. Imho
these efforts should be combined.
Warm regards,
Ashwin Baindur
